1 Reason to Buy Moderna Now
Many know of Francis Crick and James Watson's Nobel Prize in Medicine for their work at Cambridge University explaining the helical structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). They were not the only researchers involved. At nearby King's College, Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins used X-rays to capture the structure of the DNA molecule. Wilkins showed Franklin's findings to Watson without her knowledge, and the rest is history.
Almost 70 years later, Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA) is using the messenger RNA (mRNA) that carries the genetic code from DNA into the cell to create a vaccine for a global pandemic. There is more to the company than the COVID-19 vaccine, and if its method can be proven, an entirely new field of medicine could dominate how we treat and prevent diseases over the next 70 years.
